Philosophy of Science deals with the problem, 'What is science?' It
seems that the answer to this question can only be found if we have
an answer to the question, 'How does science function?' Thus, the
study of the methodology of social sciences is a prominent factor
in any analysis of these sciences. The history of philosophy shows
clearly that the answer to the question, 'How does science
function?' was the conditio sine qua non of any kind of philosophy
of science, epistemology and even of logic. Aristotle, Hume, Kant,
Mill, Russell, to mention a few classical authors, clearly
emphasized the primacy of methodology of science for any kind of
philosophy of science. One may even state that analyses of the
presup positions, the foundations, the aims, goals and purposes of
science are nothing else than analyses of their general and
specific formal, as well as practical and empirical methods. Thus,
the whole program of any phi losophy of science is dependent on the
analysis of the methods of sciences and the establishment of their
criteria. If the study of scientific method is the predominant
factor in the philosophy of science, then all the other problems
will depend on the outcome of such a study. For example, the old
question of a possible unity of all social sciences will be brought
to a solution by the study of the presuppositions, the methods, as
well as of the criteria germane to all social sciences."
